Roasted Green Chili Hummus image

I LOVE Green Chilis and I love to experiment with Hummus. You can put pretty much any flavor into garbanzo beans and make a great healthy dip. After a few experiments, this recipe rocks!

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed, and papery skins removed
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon tahini paste
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove roasted garlic
1 green chili pepper, roasted, seeded, and peeled
2 tablespoons cilantro, stems removed
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Boil garbanzo beans in salted water for 10-12 minutes. Drain and place into food processor.
  • Add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
  • If it does not become smooth enough for your taste, add additional water, olive oil, or lime juice - depending on the flavor you desire.
  • Add Salt and Pepper to taste. Pulse to mix through.
  • If you like a bit more heat than the green chili gives, add a bit of jalapeno or serrano pepper. Whatever you do -- please -- don't add canned diced chilis. The vinegary canned flavor does not go well with the garbanzo beans.
  • Serve with warm soft pitas or crispy pita chips.
